Pulmonary adenoid cystic carcinoma (PACC) is an extremely rare neoplasm. Adenoid (ACC) usually occurs in the salivary glands of head and neck. Given its occurrence, there are no established guidelines for treatment progressive and/or relapsed disease. We herein report a case 57-year-old female who was incidentally found to have biopsy confirmed PACC following trauma diagnostic workup. She under...

INTRODUCTION Adenoid cystic carcinoma of Bartholin's gland is a very rare disease. CASE PRESENTATION A 48-year-old premenopausal woman of Caucasian origin was delivered adjuvant pelvic and inguinal radiotherapy after prior complete left Bartholin's gland tumor excision and inguinal lymph node dissection for adenoid cystic carcinoma of Bartholin's gland with one metastatic inguinal lymph node....

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the correlation between and significance of 2 methods of palatal airway assessment on lateral cephalographs. DESIGN Diagnostic lateral cephalometric imaging study that took place from January 1, 2006, to December 31, 2007. SETTING American University of Beirut Medical Center. PATIENTS Children with chronic mouth breathing referred by a pediatric otolaryngologist for ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the usefulness of adynamic lateral neck radiographs and dynamic video rhinoscopy in assessing adenoid size and the relationship of these methods to associated symptoms and thus the severity of the disease. METHODS Children with suspected adenoid hypertrophy underwent standard lateral neck soft tissue radiographs: the percentage of airway occlusion, adenoid to nasopharynx...

conclusions the results of our study indicated that enuresis was a common health problem among children with ah and it is associated with some symptoms of ah such as osa, growth retardation and irritability. using these findings as baseline data, we could determine the appropriate treatment approach for improving the course of the disease as well as the quality of the affected patients’ lives. ...

Breast adenoid cystic carcinoma (BACC) is a biologically distinct tumor with morphologic mimickers, which might make accurate classification problematic. Because c-kit expression has been reported in adenoid cystic carcinoma of various anatomic sites, we evaluated BACC for c-kit by immunohistochemical analysis, comparing the findings to similarly stained mimickers. Tested cases included 6 BACCs...

BACKGROUND Malignant tumours of minor salivary glands are uncommon, representing only 2-4% of all head and neck cancers. In the larynx, minor salivary gland tumours rarely occur and constitute less than 1% of laryngeal neoplasm. Most of the minor salivary gland tumours arise in the subglottis; however, they can also occur in the supraglottis, in the false vocal cords, aryepiglottic folds and ca...

BACKGROUND Malignant adenomyoepithelioma and adenoid cystic carcinoma are both rare malignant epithelial-myoepithelial tumors of the breast. We report a very rare case with a malignant adenomyoepithelioma combining with adenoid cystic carcinoma in a single mass. CASE PRESENTATION A 61-year-old female presented with a palpable painless mass in the right breast. Mammography revealed a large irr...

OBJECTIVE Adenoid hypertrophy is a common condition in childhood, which may be associated with recurring acute otitis media (RAOM), otitis media with effusion (OME), and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). These different clinical characteristics have some clinical overlap; however, they might be explained by distinct immunologic and infectious profiles and result in various histopathologi...

BACKGROUND Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the breast is an uncommon histologic form of breast cancer, comprising in most series less than 1% of all mammary cancers. Due to the rarity, little information about its presentation on image studies has been noted in the literature. Here we report two additional cases with emphasis on the intriguing image presentations. CASE ONE A 67-year-old woman cam...
